CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheets as of September 30, 1996, statements of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by Geodyne
Resources, Inc., the general partner of the Partnerships (the
"General Partner"), without audit. In the opinion of management
the financial statements referred to above include all necessary
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to
present fairly the financial position at September 30, 1996, the
results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
Information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnerships' Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed for the year ended December 31, 1995. The results of
operations for the period ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
The Limited Partners' net income or loss per unit is based upon
each $100 initial capital contribution.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
----------------------
The Partnerships follow the successful efforts method of
accounting for their oil and gas properties. Under the
successful efforts method, the Partnerships capitalize all
property acquisition costs and development costs incurred in
connection with the further development of oil and gas reserves.
Property acquisition costs include costs incurred by the
Partnerships or the General Partner to acquire producing
properties, including related title insurance or examination
costs, commissions, engineering, legal and accounting fees, and
similar costs directly related to the acquisitions. The
acquisition cost to the Partnerships of properties acquired by
the General Partner is adjusted to reflect the net cash results
of operations, including interest incurred to finance the
acquisition, for the period of time the properties are held by

the General Partner. Leasehold impairment is recognized based
upon an individual property assessment and exploratory
experience. Upon discovery of commercial reserves, leasehold
costs are transferred to producing properties.
Depletion of the costs of producing oil and gas properties,
amortization of related intangible drilling and development
costs, and depreciation of tangible lease and well equipment are
computed on the unit-of-production method.
When complete units of depreciable property are retired or sold,
the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are
eliminated with any gain or loss reflected in income. When less
than complete units of depreciable property are retired or sold,
the difference between asset cost and salvage value is charged or
credited to accumulated depreciation.
Effective October 1, 1995, the Partnerships adopted the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived
Assets and Assets Held for Disposal". SFAS No. 121 provides that
if the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties for each field
exceed the expected undiscounted future cash flows from such
properties, the cost of the properties is written down to fair
value, which is determined by using the discounted future cash
flows from the properties. Under the Partnerships' prior
impairment policy if the net oil and gas properties as a whole
exceeded the estimated undiscounted future net revenues of the
properties, a valuation allowance would be recorded for the
excess amount. The risk that the Partnerships will be required
to record such impairment provisions in the future increases when
oil and gas prices are depressed.
If net oil and gas properties recorded by a Partnership exceed
the estimated undiscounted future net revenues of the properties,
a provision to reduce the carrying value of oil and gas
properties is recorded for the excess amount. The III-A, III-C,
III-F and III-G Partnerships recorded such provisions in the
amounts of $170,000, $304,000, $219,000 and $150,000,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. No
other provisions to reduce the carrying value of oil and gas
properties were recorded during the three or nine months ended
September 30, 1996.

Partnerships' properties and their policy is to bill the
Partnerships for all customary charges and cost reimbursements
associated with their activities, together with any compressor
rentals, consulting, or other services provided.
During 1995, the Partnerships sold gas at market prices to
Premier Gas Company ("Premier") and Premier then resold such gas
to third parties at market prices. Premier was an affiliate of
the Partnerships until December 6, 1995. The following is a
summary of these sales during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and the amount of the Partnerships' accrued
gas sales due from Premier at December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
- -------
The Partnerships are engaged in the business of owning interests
in producing oil and gas properties located in the continental
United States. In general, a Partnership acquired producing
properties and has not engaged in development drilling or
enhanced recovery projects, except as an incidental part of the
management of the producing properties acquired. Therefore, the
economic life of each Partnership is limited to the period of
time required to fully produce its acquired oil and gas reserves.
The net proceeds from the oil and gas operations are distributed
to the Limited Partners and the General Partner in accordance
with the terms of the Partnership Agreements governing the
Partnerships.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Partnerships began operations and investors were assigned
their rights as Limited Partners, having made capital
contributions in the amounts and on the dates set forth below:
Limited
Date of Partner Capital
Partnership Activation Contributions
----------- ------------------ ---------------
III-A November 21, 1989 $26,397,600
III-B January 24, 1990 13,833,600
III-C February 27, 1990 24,453,600
III-D September 5, 1990 13,100,800
III-E December 26, 1990 41,826,600
III-F March 7, 1991 22,148,400
III-G September 20, 1991 12,192,500
In general, the amount of funds available for acquisition of
producing properties was equal to the capital contributions of
the Limited Partners, less 15% for sales commissions and
organization and management fees. All of the Partnerships have
fully invested their capital contributions.
Net proceeds from the Partnerships' operations less necessary
operating capital are distributed to the Partnerships' Limited
Partners on a quarterly basis. Revenues and net proceeds of a
Partnership are largely dependent upon the volumes of oil and gas
sold and the prices received for such oil and gas. Over the last
several years, the domestic energy industry and the Partnerships
-34-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
have contended with volatile, but generally low, oil and gas
prices. Over the last few years, the oil and gas market appears
to have moved from periods of relative stability in supply and
demand to excess supply or weakened demand. These trends have
led to the volatility in pricing and demand noted over the past
years. While the General Partner cannot predict future pricing
trends, it believes the working capital available as of September
30, 1996 and the net revenue generated from future operations
will provide sufficient working capital to meet current and
future obligations of the Partnerships.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the following
Partnerships sold their interests in several oil and gas
properties. Proceeds from such sales were as follows:
Proceeds for
Nine Months Ended
Partnership September 30, 1996
III-A $264,666
III-B 120,876
III-C 99,500
III-D 37,183
III-F 39,038
III-G 44,321
Such proceeds will be included in the determination of the amount
of the cash distributions to be paid to the Limited Partners of
such Partnerships during November 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
An analysis of the change in net oil and gas operations (oil and
gas sales, less lease operating expenses and production taxes),
is presented in the tables within "Results of Operations".
Generally, the Partnerships' operations during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 reflect an increase in total revenues
compared to the same periods in 1995. Management believes this
increase generally resulted from an increase in oil and gas
prices. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above for a
discussion of factors impacting prices.

MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.
Three months ended September 30,
--------------------------------
1996 1995
-------- ----------
Oil and gas sales $811,194 $1,007,843
Oil and gas production expenses $217,222 $ 267,961
Barrels produced 10,526 16,715
Mcf produced 310,142 517,793
Average price/Bbl $ 21.53 $ 17.74
Average price/Mcf $ 1.88 $ 1.37
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased
$196,649 (19.5%) for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995. Of this
decrease, $523,633 was related to the decreases in the volumes of
oil and natural gas sold, partially offset by a $327,424 increase
related to the increases in the average prices of oil and natural
gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold decreased by 6,189
barrels and 207,651 Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The decrease in the volumes of oil sold
resulted primarily from (i) the shutting-in of one well during
the three months ended September 30, 1996 due to a workover
performed in order to improve the recovery of reserves, (ii) the
normal declines in production due to diminished oil reserves on
three wells during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995, and (iii)
a positive prior period volume adjustment made by the purchaser
on one well during the three months ended September 30, 1995.
The decrease in the volumes of natural gas sold resulted
primarily from (i) the normal declines in production due to
diminished natural gas reserves on several wells during the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1995, (ii) a positive prior period volume
adjustment made by the purchaser on one well during the three
months ended September 30, 1995, and (iii) the sale of several
natural gas producing wells during 1996. Average oil and natural
gas prices increased to $21.53 per barrel and $1.88 per Mcf,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from
$17.74 per barrel and $1.37 per Mcf, respectively, for the three
months ended September 30, 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $50,739 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from
(i) the decreases in the volumes of oil and natural gas sold
-36-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and (ii) the decrease
in lease operating expenses due to the sale of several wells
during 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
expenses remained relatively constant at 26.8% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 26.6% for the
three months ended September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $499,738 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from (i)
significant upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil
and natural gas reserves at December 31, 1995, (ii) decreases in
the volumes of oil and natural gas sold during the three months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995, and (iii) a decrease in capitalized costs due
to an impairment provision recognized in the fourth quarter of
1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense
decreased to 36.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1996
from 78.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. This
percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the upward
reserve revisions and impairment provision discussed above and
the increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses increased $6,588 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1995. This increase resulted
primarily from an increase in legal and other professional fees
during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 10.0% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 from 7.4% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decreases in the volumes of oil and natural
gas sold during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995.

Mcf produced 1,050,856 1,341,673
Average price/Bbl $ 20.22 $ 17.66
Average price/Mcf $ 1.90 $ 1.45
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales remained
relatively constant for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. While
the average prices of oil and natural gas sold increased for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, any resulting increase in oil
and natural gas sales was offset by decreases in the volumes of
oil and natural gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold
decreased by 8,876 barrels and 290,817 Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in the volumes of
oil sold resulted primarily from (i) the shutting-in of one well
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 due to a workover
performed in order to improve the recovery of reserves, (ii) the
normal declines in production due to diminished oil reserves on
three wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995, and (iii) a
positive prior period volume adjustment made by the purchaser on
one well during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
decrease in the volumes of natural gas sold resulted primarily
from (i) the normal declines in production due to diminished
natural gas reserves on several wells during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, (ii) a positive prior period volume
adjustment made by the purchaser on one well during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, and (iii) the sale of several
wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Average
oil and natural gas prices increased to $20.22 per barrel and
$1.90 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 from $17.66 per barrel and $1.45 per Mcf, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $134,589 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily due to the
decrease in lease operating expenses due to the sale of several
-38-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to
25.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 30.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the increases in the average prices
of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $1,069,228 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) significant
upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and natural
gas reserves at December 31, 1995, (ii) decreases in the volumes
of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1995, and (iii) a decrease in capitalized costs due to an
impairment provision recognized in the fourth quarter of 1995.
As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to
36.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 75.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the reserve
revisions and impairment provision discussed above and the
increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
A provision to reduce the carrying value of the III-A
Partnership's oil and gas properties at September 30, 1995 was
necessary due to the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties
exceeding the undiscounted value of future net revenues from the
oil and gas properties. This provision was due to the declining
gas prices used in projecting future net revenues at September
30, 1995. No similar provision was necessary for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses increased $7,527 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. This increase primarily resulted from
an increase in legal and other professional fees during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
these expenses remained relatively constant at 9.1% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 8.7% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through
September 30, 1996 totaling $19,815,701 or 75.07% of Limited
Partners' capital contributions.

compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995. Of this
decrease, $242,162 was related to the decreases in the volumes of
oil and natural gas sold, partially offset by a $163,985 increase
related to the increases in the average prices of oil and natural

to 25.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $200,541 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from (i)
significant upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil

decreased to 35.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996
from 66.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. This
percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the reserve
revisions and impairment provision discussed above and the
increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses increased $3,629 for the

As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased
$40,675 (2.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Of this
increase, $368,117 was related to the increases in the average
prices of oil and natural gas sold, partially offset by a
$326,779 decrease related to the decreases in the volumes of oil
and natural gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold
decreased by 4,156 barrels and 129,632 Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in the volumes of
natural gas sold resulted primarily from (i) the normal declines
in production due to diminished natural gas reserves on several
wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995, (ii) the sale of
several wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
and (iii) positive prior period volume adjustments made by the
purchasers on two wells during the nine months ended September
30, 1995. Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $20.30
per barrel and $1.87 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from $17.70 per barrel and $1.44 per
Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $55,296 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from
(i) a decrease in equipment rental charges on one well during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, and (ii) the decrease in lease
operating expenses due to the sale of several wells during the

gas sales, these expenses decreased to 24.1% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from 28.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due
to the increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas
sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $419,661 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
This decrease resulted primarily from (i) significant upward
revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and natural gas
reserves at December 31, 1995, (ii) decreases in the volumes of
oil and natural gas sold during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
and (iii) a decrease in capitalized costs due to an impairment
provision recognized in the fourth quarter of 1995. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 35.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 64.4% for the

impairment provision discussed above and the increases in the
average prices of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses increased by $4,804 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. This increase resulted
primarily from an increase in legal and other professional fees
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995. As a percentage of oil
and gas sales, these expenses remained relatively constant at
8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to

Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $18,701 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from
(i) a decrease in equipment rental charges on one well during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, (ii) prior period adjustments
made by the operator during the nine months ended September 30,
1995 for compression expenses on several wells, and (iii) the
decrease in lease operating expenses due to the sale of three
wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to
24.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to

As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to
38.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 100.4%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the reserve
revisions and impairment provision discussed above and the
increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
A provision to reduce the carrying value of the III-C
Partnership's oil and gas properties at September 30, 1995 was
necessary due to the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties
exceeding the undiscounted value of future net revenues from the
oil and gas properties. This provision was due to the declining
gas prices used in projecting future net revenues at September
30, 1995. No similar provision was necessary for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the

months ended September 30, 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses decreased to 47.5% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from 54.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due
to the increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas
sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $1,189,204 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) significant
upward revisions in the estimate of remaining natural gas
reserves at December 31, 1995, (ii) decreases in the volumes of
oil and natural gas sold during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
and (iii) a decrease in capitalized costs due to an impairment
provision recognized in the fourth quarter of 1995. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 22.9%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 41.6% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease
was primarily due to the dollar decrease in depreciation,
depletion, and amortization related to the reserve revision and
impairment provision discussed above and the increases in the
average prices of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses decreased $21,419 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted
primarily from a decrease in both printing and postage expenses
and professional fees during the nine months ended September 30,

1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. As
a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses remained
relatively constant at 5.7% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to 6.1% for the nine months ended September
30, 1995.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through

Partners' capital contributions.
PARTNERSHIP III-F
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.
Three months ended September 30,
--------------------------------
1996 1995
-------- --------
Oil and gas sales $801,543 $651,456
Oil and gas production expenses $214,863 $363,746
Barrels produced 20,248 20,738
Mcf produced 221,599 268,999
Average price/Bbl $ 21.40 $ 15.13
Average price/Mcf $ 1.66 $ 1.26
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased
$150,087 (23.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995. Of this
increase, $237,627 related to the increases in the average prices
of oil and natural gas sold, partially offset by a $78,684
decrease related to the decrease in the volumes of natural gas
sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold decreased by 490
barrels and 47,400 Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The decrease in the volumes of natural gas
sold resulted primarily from (i) the normal declines in
production due to diminished natural gas reserves on several
wells during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995, (ii) the
shutting-in of one well during the three months ended September
30, 1996 due to mechanical difficulties, and (iii) the sale of
three natural gas producing wells during 1996 and the later part
of 1995. Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $21.40
per barrel and $1.66 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 from $15.13 per barrel and $1.26 per
Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $148,883 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from
-53-

(i) a downward ownership adjustment made by the operator on one
well during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, (ii) the
shutting-in of one well during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 due to mechanical difficulties, (iii) workover expenses
incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 on three
wells in order to improve the recovery of reserves, and (iv) a
decrease in lease operating expenses due to the sale of several
wells during 1996 and the later part of 1995. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 26.8% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 from 55.8% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the dollar decrease in oil and gas production
expenses discussed above and the increases in the average prices
of oil and natural gas sold during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $195,295 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from (i)
significant upward revisions in the estimate of remaining oil
reserves at December 31, 1995, (ii) decreases in the volumes of
oil and natural gas sold during the three months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1995, and (iii) a decrease in capitalized costs due to an
impairment provision recognized in the fourth quarter of 1995.
As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to
38.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from 77.2%
for the three months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the reserve
revision and impairment provision discussed above and the
increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1995. As a percentage of oil
and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 7.9% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from 9.7% for the three months
ended September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease resulted
primarily from the increases in the average prices of oil and
natural gas sold during the three months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995.

Mcf produced 719,068 870,742
Average price/Bbl $ 19.55 $ 16.82
Average price/Mcf $ 1.56 $ 1.28
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased
$129,214 (6.1%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Of this
increase, $407,663 was related to the increases in the average
prices of oil and natural gas sold, partially offset by a
$272,055 decrease related to the decreases in the volumes of oil
and natural gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold
decreased by 1,813 barrels and 151,674 Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in the volumes of
natural gas sold resulted primarily from (i) the normal declines
in production due to diminished natural gas reserves on several
wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995, (ii) a positive
prior period volume adjustment made by the purchaser on one well
during the nine months ended September 30, 1995, (iii) the
shutting-in of two wells during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 due to mechanical difficulties, and (iv) the sale of
three natural gas producing wells during 1996 and 1995. Average
oil and natural gas prices increased to $19.55 per barrel and
$1.56 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 from $16.82 per barrel and $1.28 per Mcf, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $294,974 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from
(i) a decrease in lease operating expenses due to the sale of
three wells during the fourth quarter of 1995, (ii) workover
expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1995
on three wells in order to improve the recovery of reserves,
(iii) a decrease in lease operating expenses due to the shutting-
in of one well during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
due to mechanical difficulties, and (iv) a downward ownership
adjustment made by the operator on one well during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses decreased to 41.0% for the nine months

<PAGE>
ended September 30, 1996 from 57.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due
to the dollar decrease in oil and gas production expenses
discussed above and the increases in the average prices of oil
and natural gas sold during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $615,534 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
This decrease resulted primarily from (i) significant upward
revisions in the estimate of remaining oil reserves at December
31, 1995, (ii) decreases in the volumes of oil and natural gas
sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995, and (iii) a decrease
in capitalized costs due to an impairment provision recognized in
the fourth quarter of 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 42.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from 73.9% for the nine months ended September
30, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and amortization
related to the reserve revision and impairment provision
discussed above and the increases in the average prices of oil
and natural gas sold during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
A provision to reduce the carrying value of the III-F
Partnership's oil and gas properties at September 30, 1995 was
necessary due to the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties
exceeding the undiscounted value of future net revenues from the
oil and gas properties. This provision was due to the declining
gas prices used in projecting future net revenues at September
30, 1995. No similar provision was necessary for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased $4,232 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from
a decrease in both printing and postage expenses and professional
fees during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, these expenses remained relatively constant at
8.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
9.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through

compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Of this
increase, $250,515 was related to the increases in the average
prices of oil and natural gas sold, partially offset by a
$153,818 decrease related to the decreases in the volumes of oil
and natural gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold
decreased by 1,373 barrels and 80,850 Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in the volumes of
natural gas sold resulted primarily from (i) the normal declines
in production due to diminished natural gas reserves on several

Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $158,290 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 This decrease resulted primarily from
(i) the decrease in lease operating expenses due to the sale of
three wells during the fourth quarter of 1995, (ii) workover
expenses incurred on four wells during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 in order to improve the recovery of reserves,
(iii) the shutting-in of one well during the nine months ended

during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage
of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 42.6% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 57.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas production expenses
discussed above and increases in the average prices of oil and
natural gas sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $299,465 for the nine months ended September

sales, this expense decreased to 41.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from 67.2% for the nine months ended September
30, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and amortization
related to the reserve revision and impairment provision
discussed above and the increases in the average prices of oil
and natural gas sold during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
A provision to reduce the carrying value of the III-G
Partnership's oil and gas properties at September 30, 1995 was
necessary due to the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties
